Data governance has transformed business glossaries and now drives AI-ready insights
I think it's a great platform. Searching can be made a little better. The data marketplace which it provides is also great, but sometimes when we are searching an element and we know we are not sure if we can find it or if we have missed it. Listing data domains in one place for quick visibility will be an add-on. I am not a hardcore coder. For a coder to create workflows and automate the process, I needed to learn Groovy script and create some workflows. In the automation part, I think it can also introduce a low-code, no-code platform where we can connect different connectors and we can quickly create some automated workflows, if at basic level only, because the next big thing is automation and AI. Low-code, no-code platforms are being used by everyone. I think that will be useful. When I look for a data domain, I'm not able to find it very quickly. For a business owner to know data domains and search data domains, it could be made a little easier. Also, the automation part needs improvement. We are only able to enter the data manually or connect to a data source, but now we want to create some workflows as well. That's why I've chosen a rating of eight. Otherwise, it's really great.

Masked finance data has enabled compliant AI modeling and now needs better UX and virtualization
DataMasque can be improved by focusing on having a virtualization setup. Unlike heavy enterprise alternatives such as Delphix, DataMasque handles static masking but does not offer built-in data virtualization, thin provisioning, or rapid dynamic data masking, which is a disadvantage for us. Another area for improvement is the single instance development, as it lacks a distributed or native scale-out engine for massive multi-terabyte clusters, which can limit raw performance compared to distributed systems. If DataMasque works on this, it would be really great, provided that the cost does not increase significantly. The GUI and UX complexity can be made more simple and intuitive for non-technical users. I would add more about needed improvements by introducing native self-service portals because it actually builds a robust, role-based UI layer that lets developers, stakeholders, business analysts, or QA leads to request and spin up masked data securely without relying entirely on engineering writing of YAML rule sets. Expanding distributed performance scaling by implementing native parallel partitioning or scale-out execution runners to reduce processing times for ultra-large enterprise databases would be a game-changer for DataMasque. Enhanced out-of-the-box synthetic generators for advanced template-driven synthetic data generation for edge case scenarios where production data is sparse would also be beneficial. These three improvements would help DataMasque grow and prosper in the IT field. Regarding DataMasque's AI capabilities, I think its governance and security yet need to be included.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution has very good online assistance."
"Collibra is very good at talking to modern database systems like a normal RDBMS, a DB2, or a SQL server or an Oracle."
"They've really helped us do things easier, faster, and better."
"Except for data quality, everything is perfect."
"I have definitely seen a positive return on investment through Collibra Platform, primarily through improved data discovery, a centralized platform for technical and business assets, better governance, and data quality, which provided good visibility over the data overall."
"I help organizations uplift their data governance using Collibra Platform, which has positively impacted our organization."
"The data lineage piece is very useful for us."
"Collibra Catalog is simple to use and user-friendly for those who are not technically inclined since it is easy to find while also easy to see data lineage diagrams."
"We were able to profile all 400+ databases in our environment, identify compliance data that was not known or identified previously and allow the teams a self-service option to restore to lower environments."
"Being able to generate the masking rules directly from the tool based on what it finds during the data discovery helps ensure that all sensitive fields are identified and masked."
"DataMasque has positively impacted our organization by already showing visible benefits in security and reduced risks for compliance, even though we are still in the process of setting up production and using it to the full extent."
"We can now have a staging environment very much like a production environment, which improves our testing and product quality."
"The resulting data set always remains mathematically and structurally valid, which is really amazing."
 

Cons

"The UI of Collibra Platform can be improved, as can some APIs such as the import API."
"This solution does not have an out-of-the-box connector for the cloud platform."
"There are certain limitations and difficulties regarding the migration of complex data quality rules, as the tool may struggle with lengthy calculations and longer loading times."
"There should be more detailed documentation on the selectors and certain information, and a reduction in cost as compared to other tools."
"If someone changes the metadata, we can't see who changed it."
"It would be better if there was a way to import all data and metadata in an automatic way in one block form."
"There is room for improvement in the Collibra Data Catalog regarding data classification and categorization. It struggles to catalog all categories of data, particularly sensitive data on-prem, which GCP Data Catalog handles better."
"If it can become more user-intuitive and work on integrating with communication platforms like Slack or Teams, it would significantly help business users."
"DataMasque can be improved by focusing on having a virtualization setup. Unlike heavy enterprise alternatives such as Delphix, DataMasque handles static masking but does not offer built-in data virtualization, thin provisioning, or rapid dynamic data masking, which is a disadvantage for us."
"UUID generation could be improved."
